ICDAR2019 Competition on Scanned Receipt OCR and Information Extraction

Understand

Scanned receipts OCR and key information extraction (SROIE) represent the processeses of recognizing text from scanned receipts and extracting key texts from them and save the extracted tests to structured documents.

• SROIE plays critical roles for many document analysis applications and holds great commercial potentials, but very little research works and advances have been published in this area.
• In recognition of the technical challenges, importance and huge commercial potentials of SROIE, we organized the ICDAR 2019 competition on SROIE.
• In this competition, we set up three tasks, namely, Scanned Receipt Text Localisation (Task 1), Scanned Receipt OCR (Task 2) and Key Information Extraction from Scanned Receipts (Task 3).
